Chapter 894 It's time to start preparing for public opinion for the next war
After discussing this matter, they talked about other things. Yunxi told him some important personal information, and then asked Zhu Zanyi to withdraw.
Then Yunxi summoned Li Jian again and asked about the situation in these days, especially the massacre of the Semu people a few days ago. When he heard Ma Xing asked before his death, "Why didn't they give the Semu people a way to survive?", he sneered.
Said: "When the Mongols ruled the Central Plains, their Semu people were second-class people, the Han people in the north were third-class, and the Han people in the south were fourth-class. We are all southerners, so we are considered fourth-class southerners."
"To be honest, although the Mongols were first-class people at the time, they didn't suffer much harm from them. How many Mongols were there in total? Most of them were near Peiping, and you couldn't see them in the south. On the contrary, it was this group of lustful people
, acting as officials, oppressing the people, who doesn't hate them and grind their teeth? I checked the files left by the Mongols, and I found that hundreds of thousands of Han people were killed by them, and they could be compensated by slaughtering them all. Now I just kill them.
This is far from enough.”
Li Jian never understood why Yunxi was so unfriendly to the Semu people. Logically speaking, after he became the emperor, everyone in the world was a subject, and the Semu people did not pay taxes, so why target them like this. But of course he would not ask the question.
Bow and listen.
However, Yunxi took the initiative to speak: "I am not an emperor who cannot tolerate others, but I cannot tolerate the Semu people. As long as they do not give up the religion they originally believed in."
"You don't know the difference between Cross Religion and Tianfang Religion and Buddhism and Taoism? Let me tell you that Cross Religion and Tianfang Religion are monotheistic religions. What is monotheistic religion? It means that there is only one god in the entire religion, and all people who believe in this religion believe in this religion.
A god."
Seeing that Li Jian still didn't understand, he could only continue: "This means that in the hearts of people who believe in these gods, gods are supreme, even the emperor cannot compare with them. And people who believe in these gods are very respectful to each other.
Unite and exclude those who do not believe in this god."
Li Jian understood at this time. This is equivalent to two days in the sky and two masters in the country. They are not the two masters like when the world was in chaos, but the two masters in your country. No one who is the emperor can accept this.
.
"I heard that in the West, when the number of people in a country who believe in these two religions reaches 30 to 40% of the country, they will force the monarch to also believe in the religion, or they will rebel and elect a religious person as the king. Now in the Ming Dynasty, they are just a small number.
, because various Han rebels had massacred them several times in the late Ming Dynasty, so they were still honest, but if they were allowed to continue, it would be difficult. Do you think I can tolerate them? "
"In addition, these two religions not only discriminate against people who do not believe in religion, but also try to kill or force them to convert. You are also aware of the public trial in Guangzhou a few days ago. I specially compiled the entire content into a booklet for you.
You sent it. This is the case with the people of Samarkand."
"Also, there are many inhumane practices of these two religions, in Fulu,..., in Tianfang,... (please check it out for yourself, I won't go into details). Tell me, how can I tolerate them?"
"Your Majesty is wise," Li Jian said immediately.
Yunxi took out a pamphlet from his side and handed it to him: "This is the pamphlet I asked someone to compile. After you retreat, send someone to the ship to get it. Each guard will have three copies and each thousand households will have one copy."
The copies should be distributed, and people who can read it such as military doctors or governors should read it out to the soldiers every day."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Jian took the pamphlet and saw that Yunxi had no more instructions, so he bowed and left.
Yunxi picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
Of course he was not idle saying these things to Li Jian. It is basically certain that next year the Kingdom of Samarkand will invade the Ming Dynasty as it did in history. Of course he will send a large army from the Central Plains to fight. Now, this battle will be fought.
Building momentum.
It is normal to discredit your opponent before going to war and make your soldiers, officials and people very angry at the enemy. This is done in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. And facts have proved that this method still has a certain effect. Many peasant uprisings or rebel armies
When they first fled to other places, they were resisted by ordinary people, even people who did not have overnight food at home. This was due to the propaganda of the government and gentry.
Moreover, Yunxi can say with a clear conscience that what he told is the truth, and these two sects have actually done those things.
During the dark Middle Ages, Fu Fu people were far darker than those in the East; the church under the communist system was also far more decadent and dark than the government under the feudal dictatorship system.
Under the system of ****, the church not only controls the bodies of the people, but also the minds of the people, trying its best to fool them, making them think that all the sufferings in life will be changed after death; no matter how the Eastern officials fool the people, they will
Not to this extent. The life of the people of Fulong in the Middle Ages was extremely miserable. No one had revolted yet. On the contrary, there were still revolts during the Roman Empire. In the East, every time the dynasty decayed, some people would cry out, "Princes and generals should be content with each other."
'Thereby rising up, overthrowing the tyranny, and allowing the people to live in peace for another hundred or two hundred years.
'When I returned to Beijing, I ordered all the guard posts in the world to prepare several copies of this pamphlet, and to publicize it among the officials, so that everyone would share the same hatred against Timur. We should also step up efforts to deal with the common people.
Propaganda, let them write more operas targeting semu people. Yes, this can be done.'
Yunxi then took out a piece of rice paper, wrote a few words on it, and said to Wang Xi: "Send this piece of paper to Hu Yan and let him draft an edict. At the same time, he will convey my oral instructions back to the capital to the Supervisor of Ceremonies, so that he can
The palace's economic factory will immediately start printing "History of the Yuan Dynasty", at least 10,000 copies; starting from this year, studying "History of the Yuan Dynasty" will become a required course in the Imperial College and the Jiangwu Hall, and it is the most important course. I will check it when I return to Beijing.
."
"Yes, the official family. But for the official family, you'd better draw up a decree for the last part." Wang Xi said.
"Then I will draw up a decree." Yunxi immediately wrote another piece of paper, handed it to him, and ordered again: "Let Hu Yan draw up the decree."
Wang Xi took the rice paper and took the order to leave.
Yunxi thought of something else and said to himself: "This year's general examination seems to be something to make a fuss about. Anyway, I haven't decided on this year's policy topic yet."
Yunxi muttered for a while, thought of two topics, wrote them down on paper and kept them close to him; fearing that he would forget them, he copied another copy and asked the eunuch to seal it, and ordered him to send it to the ship and rush it back to the capital six hundred miles away.
It was in the hands of the queen. Xiyao was always cautious and would not open it without knowing what was inside the box.
After ordering all these, Yunxi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "There is only so much I can do."
